Sen. Don Shooter's bill, SB-1412, will fight back against voter fraud, by making it a felony to unlawfully possess someone's ballot. But in order to be sure that it will get voted on by the House, it must pass Committee. The decision as to what Committee will hear the bill falls into Speaker Kirk Adams' hands. And that decision is critical. It can determine whether a bill moves forward or is left behind.

We are aware that the House Judiciary Committee has refused to address the issue of Ballot Integrity, and this is unacceptable to us. As citizens we want our elections to be free, fair, open, honest, and accountable, and fraud threatens to steal our votes and keep our voices from being counted. Please Speaker Adams, assign Sen. Shooter's bill to the Government Committee. THE VOTERS NEED THIS PROTECTION!
